A TRIP OF MEMORIES

PETRIFIED FOREST & THE PAINTED DESERT

By request, I delivered last Saturday a presentation to the Colored

Pencil Society of San Diego, regarding my 2009 Artist-in-Residence

at the Petrified Forest National Park.

Above are two plein air sketches of the Painted Desert with the third

of myself blocking in the right sketch during my residency.

The request of the presentation was not only a great honor, but a

wonderful opportunity to revisit the memories of a great event!

CIRCLES + A STAR - 6 x 6 pastel

BATTLE OF THE BRANDS! CIRCLES + A STAR 6" x 6" pastel 10" square archival white matt, glass + black frame $295 + $15 insured priority shipping Monday is roaring up quickly and you know what that means . . . Battle of the Brands with donuts and cupcakes! Slinging going on from the East Coast to the West Coast . . . what a sticky mess! Sure Kelley MacDonald will be slamming me with a jelly donut . . . or two or three stacked oh, so high! But wait . . . also Mary Sheehan Winn has jumped into this ruckus . . . and shown her sportsmanship but tossing little munchkins into the ring last week. What's a gal to do? I say sit back and catch a couple of these tasty morsels flying bye. Yum!
